It costs a fortune to get wine drunk at the Super Bowl
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
$25 FOR A SINGLE GLASS OF WINE!!!
Look, we get that the Super Bowl is a premiere event and people in attendance have the money for this stuff -- but that’s beyond the pale. The beer prices are bad enough, but you can get two BOTTLES of wine for that price -- semi-okay bottles too. Heck, you can get almost three boxes of terrible wine for $25.
Want to get a sense of the markup? Here’s what these bottles retail for:
William Hill Chardonnay: $13.95
MacMurray Pinot Gris: $13.99
J Sparkling Rose: $22.99
Chalone Estate Pinot Noir: $17.99
Gallo Signature Series Pinot Noir: $22.99
Bonterra The McNab Red Blend: $15.98
Sterling Napa Valley Cabernet: $16.00
Unparalleled Cabernet: $16.00
Stonestreet Cabernet: $33.99
So if you’re at the Super Bowl -- please, at least drink the Stonestreet. It’s still ridiculous, but at least you’re closer to getting your money’s worth.
